HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Or as the French say, "Bonne Annee"!

Twenty six days into 2024 and I’m feeling incredibly inspired and passionate. Perhaps it’s the new year, Dragon-energy that’s permeating my whole being?? Or perhaps the fresh, crisp air of winter? I’m not quite sure, but regardless, the feeling is vibrant and all-inspiring! I guess it also doesn’t hurt that I just spent eight days in Paris, strolling the streets of St. Germain, sipping on foamy cappuccinos, smelling sweet perfume, and getting a glimpse of the latest French fashions! Oui! But truly, the shift is palpable and I feel alive and ready to charge! Merci beaucoup, Paris! Hello, 2024!!

In this New Year, and also after 29 years of honing my design skills, I’m ready to take things to a new level. I want to push myself beyond former limitations. Make the rest of my design career, the best of my design career. And after spending a week amongst some of the best and brightest new friends, taste makers, and designers in the country, I’m reminded of just how much talent is out there, and how hard I’ve worked to earn my rank amongst them all. Bravo me!

My exact path this year is of course still unknown, but with my beautiful projects in queue, and all the exquisite design partners surrounding me, I’m confident this is going to be a year of remarkable design for Shelley & Co. And as always, I’m inspired for the journey ahead. May my angels help me to tap into my Joie de Vivre, for what is the gift of it all, if not the journey along the way?

Again, Happy New Year my friends. And may the year ahead bring us all great joy, prosperity, and take us to new heights along our path!

Au Revoir,
